Microsoft has improved the security of it considerably, thanks to automatic updates and additional free security tools. Lets assume you have got your browser updated to the latest version, and that you generally update the application immediately when a new version comes out. You are secure now, right? Nope, you are not. Why? Because it is not only about the browser software. Browsers make automatic use of other applications, commonly called plugins. Popular plugins like Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight or Java are attack vectors as well, and successful ones too. hotdoge3 on ""A new era has officially dawned: the era of x64 rootkits,"" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7953#post-82059 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:43:05 +0000 hotdoge3 82059@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9182238/Rootkit_with_Blue_Screen_history_now_targets_64_bit_Windows?taxonomyId=89" rel="nofollow">http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9182238/Rootkit_with_Blue_Screen_history_now_targets_64_bit_Windows?taxonomyId=89</a> Rootkit with Blue Screen history now targets 64-bit Windows 'New era,' says researcher of rootkit that bypasses 64-bit kernel defenses by infecting hard drive's boot record. <a href="http://www.symantec.com/connect/fr/blogs/tidserv-64-bit-goes-hiding" rel="nofollow">http://www.symantec.com/connect/fr/blogs/tidserv-64-bit-goes-hiding</a> Frique on "Has the Pirate Bay finally been sunk?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7513#post-77082 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:29:38 +0000 Frique 77082@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I seem to remember some dark predictions in the late 70's and early 80's about video rental stores killing the motion picture industry. At that time, the average cost of a movie (VHS or BETA) was $80, so it was a bit difficult to build up a decent sized collection. A rental from a video store was one or two dollars, but it also increased the risk of people pirating the movies for their own collection. Now there is a whole market devoted to "direct to DVD" movies promoted almost exclusively at the rental stores. The price of movies to own has also dropped dramatically. Video stores have reached an agreement with the movie companies about revenue sharing and everyone is on good terms again. What we need to do is develop a system that utilizes our current technology to make (movies, music, etc...) more readily available and cheap enough to entice people away from pirating. I realize that we will never escape piracy 100%, but we can make a legal route that is affordable enough for the general public to say no to piracy. There are already several distribution platforms available to choose from. (Gnutella, Torrents, ED2K) All of them offer the potential for a digital age "rental store." Who knows, this might even bring the "Fair Use" laws back into effect and allow someone to put their legally purchased DVD movies onto a laptop so they can watch them on a business trip or extended stay away from home. You may say I'm a dreamer... goodgotd on "Has the Pirate Bay finally been sunk?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7513#post-77026 Wed, 19 May 2010 06:24:26 +0000 goodgotd 77026@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ You're a day behind- or rather the nzherald is- I just checked torrentfreak, and the latest is that <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-party-becomes-the-pirate-bays-new-host-100518/">The Pirate Party Becomes The Pirate Bay’s New Host</a> with the entry page currently showing this taunting picture: <img src="http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii243/snapfocus/tpb-lolcat.jpg"> The plot thickens faster than a pan of gravy. hotdoge3 on "Has the Pirate Bay finally been sunk?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7513#post-77017 Tue, 18 May 2010 22:49:33 +0000 hotdoge3 77017@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/file-sharing/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=199" rel="nofollow">http://www.nzherald.co.nz/file-sharing/news/headlines.cfm?c_id=199</a> Has the Pirate Bay finally been sunk? <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/intellectual-property/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501011&objectid=10644656" rel="nofollow">http://www.nzherald.co.nz/intellectual-property/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501011&objectid=10644656</a> LimeWire hammered in copyright case <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/intellectual-property/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501011&objectid=10645702" rel="nofollow">http://www.nzherald.co.nz/intellectual-property/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501011&objectid=10645702</a> Piracy student must pay Microsoft $24,000 hotdoge3 on "HP Kills the iPad Killer Says Windows 7 is unfriendly with tablets" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7411#post-76621 Sun, 09 May 2010 00:53:43 +0000 hotdoge3 76621@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.betanews.com/article/A-window-closes-on-Microsoft/1273183627" rel="nofollow">http://www.betanews.com/article/A-window-closes-on-Microsoft/1273183627</a> A window closes on Microsoft I think it's way too soon to write off Microsoft as a company.!!

You don't really get a "download" install program from them, just a stub (which I let it handle itself) and the installed program. You are supposed to be able to re-download in case of a problem. At least they give you a choice. I had real problems with REAL and they said when you upgraded their manager, you would get a choice - I didn't. They said I was stuck now since even an uninstall/re-install wouldn't fix it. That told me where to look and I did re-direct it ---- in the Registry.

The BFG downloader is, obviously, taking control of the situation and may be installing the actual game remotely from the site. Or it may be happening on your machine and BFG just doesn't want to give you control over the install, in other words the ability to install without going through the downloader. I've never tried, so I couldn't say.

The Run/Save option only appears on the first screen which is actually for the BFG downloader. The second screen which is for the game itself does not give me a Save option, only a Run option, so there is nothing I can do about it. I've never had a problem figuring out where BFG is installing, it's just some of the other sites.
